Metered-Dose Inhalers (MDI)

A Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI) is a device used to deliver medication directly to the lungs for conditions like asthma and COPD. It releases a specific, measured dose of medicine with each actuation, typically using a pressurized propellant. The user inhales while pressing the device to ensure the medication reaches the respiratory passages quickly. Proper technique is essential for effectiveness. MDIs are portable, convenient, and allow for controlled dosing, making them a common choice for managing respiratory conditions.
